Joey Valence & Brae
Beastie Boys energy for the TikTok era — relentless, giddy, all-caps fun, two friends rapping like the '80s never ended.
Joey Valence & Brae are a duo from State College, Pennsylvania, made up of Joey Valence and Braeden Bailey. They began releasing music around 2021, initially gaining attention through short-form video, and their early work drew immediate comparisons to the Beastie Boys for its shouted, traded-off vocals and old-school breakbeat production.
Their sound combines boom-bap drums and sampled-sounding loops with elements of punk and rap rock, delivered at high energy and short length. The pair produce their own material and perform as a two-man front line, with an emphasis on physical, fast-paced live shows.
